Quick update: star history is from the full report of Nov 8, 2026.

Caution

One person wrote most of the recent commits.

Why

One person wrote 89% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. (source 1, source 2)

What would change this

A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.; Only 0 recent issues can be checked for a response, too few to measure response time.)

Stars

Organic, confidence medium

Bars show stars gained each week. Red bars overlap a burst.

Bursts

Sep 20, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026: about 50 more stars than usual, peak 18 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Oct 12, 2026 to Nov 7, 2026: about 4.7k more stars than usual, peak 293 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

The star history looks organic.
